Brother, is there a problem with me being a magical girl?

The thick and callused hand patted the girl's shoulder heavily, Meng Qianran raised her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then asked in a hoarse crying voice.

"Old Dean, I remember everything you said, and I will always remember the old dean's teachings in my life in the future, so I won't make you worry and worry anymore..."

Sobbing her nose, the girl spoke intermittently, but how could the old dean who had been with him for many years not feel the emotion in the words?

"Remember not to do this kind of thing again in the future. Remember that you only have the right to choose, but not the ability to guarantee the consequences!"

The old dean said this very carefully, and he shook his head slightly to vent his helplessness and emotion.

"Dean, I have one more request before I leave, please agree to the dean."

Meng Qianran coughed to restore her voice to normal. She raised her head and asked very seriously.

"You want to talk about Chu Tianling, right?"

The old dean raised his head, but his muddy eyes became extremely clear at this time, and the black eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

"Yes, Tianling and I grew up together. We both grew up in the same orphanage, and the dormitory is also in the same dormitory. He regards me as his elder sister, and I regard him as his younger brother. But now I am leaving, and He is also the person I have the deepest contact with, and it is inevitable that I will be stabbed by the words of the people around me in life..."

"In these years, although I seldom go back to the orphanage, I also saved some money during the work-study program outside. This money is enough for me to rent a house next to Tianling's school..."

"Tianling's grades are very good. Although the environment given to him in the orphanage is already very good, after all, there are too many people, which will inevitably have some impact on his studies. I want to take him out and live with him. I can take care of him while I work part-time and study part-time."

Meng Qianran sniffed, and said softly, she knew very well that Tianling's talent would be better developed in a better environment. But here are all children, how can it be considered the best? Once Tianling finishes her homework, she will be pulled over by each child to ask the younger children to guide their studies and homework problems.

A person's energy is always limited, and the time taken away by others can never be made up for. Since Tianling can't use his original talent here, and if he stays here, he may be abused by other children, then it's better to let her sister take him away with him. Maybe everything will be solved. Although life will be harder later, everything will be worth it.

Meng Qianran knew in her heart that with her relationship with Tianling, the other party would definitely agree. As for whether the old dean would approve it or not?There is a high probability that they will, and Tianling has also reached the age of 16. To be honest, if children of this age have not been adopted by others, most of them will start to find jobs on their own and earn their own living.

Bringing Tianling out by himself can not only reduce the burden on the orphanage, but also solve the problem of Tianling's own treatment.

Just as Meng Qianran was thinking so in her heart, waiting for the final affirmation from the old dean after nodding, everything that was waiting, everything that was expected, did not happen for a long time.

The silence in the air was terrible, the girl's heart skipped a beat, she felt that something was wrong, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the dean, only to find that there was something wrong with the old dean's eyes at this time.

The old dean's originally benevolent eyes looked at her a little dodged at this time, Meng Qianran's heart became half cold in an instant, and she had a very bad premonition in her heart.

"House, Dean?!"

"Qianran, don't blame me. That's what Tianling himself meant. Just yesterday, he was picked up by the family that had taken a fancy to him a few years ago. Now he should be going to Tiandu City. Let's go..."

The old dean sighed helplessly, his brows were wrinkled, and his hands and fingers were intertwined uncomfortably.

"Why, how could this happen?!"

The girl suddenly stood up from the chair. At this time, she felt as if her body was being hollowed out by an invisible force, and she couldn't even support her standing body. She leaned against the wall and lifted her chest up in one breath, but she still couldn't get down.

She stared wide-eyed, shook her head in disbelief, and kept whispering that sentence in her mouth.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible..."

"You are a good boy, and Tianling is also a good boy. You grew up in front of my eyes. What are you thinking? As an old dean, I can more or less guess that you gave up the magical girl not only because The fear of the danger of this profession is more of a worry about the future of you having such a younger brother in the orphanage, isn't it?"

The old dean raised his head and looked at the ceiling, talking silently.

"You are worried that you will not be able to see the future of Tianling. You are worried that Tianling will endure countless hardships and devastation on the way to growth in the future, so you can't let him go. You want to protect your younger brother as an older sister. You hope that your younger brother can There is a better future, at least better than you, you would rather give up your identity as a magical girl, and still be by this brother's side..."

"I can think of and understand all your thoughts, but Qianran, you forgot one thing. What I can think of, Tianling's smart child can also think of..."

"You gave up your identity as a magical girl for him, and it is also an invisible guilt for Tianling. He doesn't want to ruin his sister because of his future, and he doesn't want you to give up your future for him..."

"As a younger brother, he knows that you are not the kind of person who gives up your responsibilities because of unilateral fear. You give up your future because of her. You have suffered but shouldn't bear the accusations and discussions..."

"So he left, and followed the family that decided to adopt him a few years ago. Qianran, that child hopes that you can go on the road of a magical girl in the end. He understands that no matter how much you fear this responsibility now, at least when you were young, you made a good wish to become a magical girl by the candle, didn't you?"

"Before he left, he told me that he knew that his sister still had good expectations for magical girls deep in her heart, otherwise she would not have signed the contract in the first place. The so-called fear may be partly instinctive, but it is more worried about his younger brother."

"He doesn't want to drag you down because of himself, just like you don't want to limit him because of the external environment."

The long narration finally came to an end here, the old principal closed his eyes, and seemed to be falling into a deep sleep, while the girl was already leaning against the wall, weeping uncontrollably...

.........

.........

The door of room 329 was slowly opened, and the girl walked into the room slowly like a fragile paper doll. In my memory, there will always be a figure sitting at the small desk in this room, writing hard, or Is buried in thinking.

But now, everything is empty...

Meng Qianran seemed to have lost her soul, she sat on the bed blankly, her hand unconsciously stroked the surface of the bed, the only thing left in her mind was endless memories...

This used to be the home of myself and my younger brother, but now that I am about to be driven out of here, my younger brother also left here first...

The tears seemed to have dried up, and they could no longer flow out. The eyes that were shy and timid in the past, but still bright, were extremely dim now...

Meng Qianran was lying on the bed like a walking corpse without a soul, the only thing that could be heard in the room was the faint sound of breathing...

Suddenly, at the top of the room, where ordinary people can't see, a thick black mist is constantly gathering. The black mist condenses together to form strange heads of different shapes and sizes. Those strange heads look at the girl sitting by the bed from top to bottom, with sinister smiles.

"It's really good. I found this orphanage just after I was released. The negative emotions in this orphanage are really strong. Almost every child has such disgust and jealousy~"

One of the heads spoke, his voice was indistinct, but hoarse enough to make people feel instinctive disgust and fear.

"Oh, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that we found this child. Look, what a perfect host, what a strong negative emotion, it's almost overflowing, ah, it's been a long time since I felt that strong breath of death..."

"Pay attention to the important point. The magic power in this child is really strong. I'm afraid she is still a magical girl. It's just that the heart of magic is not around, but now there is no defense at all!"

"It's a wonderful plan to host a former magical girl~"

"Jie Jie Jie, let us stay on this child and amplify all her ideas without limit, and then come and appreciate her final performance..."

Miscellaneous voices continued to ring from the roof, but they all had the same goal of talking, which was to board their own bodies on this poor child.

Finally, under the circumstances that ordinary people are not easy to notice, strands of black silk threads slowly fell down from the roof, and then unknowingly wrapped around the girl's body. In the end, it wrapped the girl into a cocoon.

.........

It was afternoon, and Lin Ran stretched in his room. He had just tidied up the things in the room, and now his body was sore and tired.

Lin Ran twisted his shoulders, and was about to take a good rest in the afternoon, when suddenly an inexplicable feeling of coldness and anxiety came from a distance, and Lin Ran suddenly turned his head to look out the window...

At this time, there was thunder and rain outside the window, and the weather was particularly bad. Looking at the not-so-good weather outside the window, Lin Ran meditated silently for a moment, and finally muttered to himself.

"It's really strange, why do you somehow feel a bad premonition outside?"

Chapter 32 Bus No. [-]

In the morning, Lin Ran was relieved to see her younger sister finished her breakfast and went to school with her schoolbag on her back. She didn't know what was going on, but she was always very vigilant about when she went out and back home.

I don't know if it was because of the influence of the subtle communication between each other that night, or because I, as a magic instructor, taught her every day in the past few days, and the evaluation of the family's emotions in the words gave my sister a certain understanding of herself. change.

Anyway, in terms of the time to go home, Lin Yiluo seems to have returned to the unusually strict concern about the time when he goes home recently.

Although Lin Ran was very happy with the recovery of his relationship with his sister, but this kind of time constraint seemed to be a bit troublesome for a person like him who had to go out to do something from time to time.

Fortunately, magical girls are not separated from the growth trajectory of normal society. Even if they become the younger sister of a magical girl, they still have to go to school to complete certain class hours and exams.

Seeing the petite figure of his younger sister gradually disappearing, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief, packed up his equipment and went out.

That night, the failure to hunt down the mysterious black shadow, as well as the weird rainy night and the inexplicable cold feeling last night made Lin Ran still brooding. Adhering to the principle of adults taking responsibility as the most important thing, Lin Ran decided to complete the company's tasks today. In addition, some simple exploration work must be carried out at the same time.

Although he didn't know the exact location of the target, it was better to go out and look for it than to stay at home, so he came to the street and made a call to the company's mission location, the Western Suburb Cemetery.

The Xijiao cemetery is taken over by Lin Ran's internship company, where a quarter of the dead people in Jinling City are buried. However, due to the renovation of the Xijiao cemetery, there are still many vacant cemeteries, and the company will often move new customers here.

Fortunately, after a period of rest, the company of my best friend Yu Wenzhou's family barely resumed operations. Although his father's heart disease still hasn't recovered much, at least as a son, Yu Wenzhou has started to run his father's former business.

After arriving at the cemetery, I showed the employee ID to the guard, and then easily entered it, found the corresponding cemetery, took out the tools in the bag, chisel, hammer, and insect repellent water, etc., the brand new tombstone was smooth, and what Lin Ran had to do was to carve the tombstone of the deceased before he moved in, and then just do a good job of protection.

Comparing the customer's biographical information on the mobile phone, Lin Ran began to do his own work on the tombstone. The chisel and carving knife continued to carve exquisite and capable strokes and characters on the smooth marble surface...

After everything was done, Lin Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up from the ground.

The customer's photos, biography, and epitaph have all been engraved, and the spraying and protection work of insect repellent potion has been completed.

Lin Ran raised his head and looked at the not-so-good day. Since the storm passed yesterday, the weather forecast for the past few days has undergone urgent changes. It seems that it is either cloudy or rainy. Looking at the gloomy sky in the sky, Lin Ran narrowed his eyes lightly.

After completing the task assigned by the company on the street, Lin Ran put his hands in his pockets and carried out his so-called investigation work aimlessly. The investigation was only caused by the maximum mental power that he could release when he was a male body. Cover your whole body to investigate.

This method is like buying a lottery ticket. If you are lucky, you may bump into it as soon as you open the sensor and go out. If you are not lucky, you may turn half a circle around the city and get nothing.

However, without the assistance of special magic props and professional organizations, and with Lin Ran alone, or in a state of non-transformation, this simple method seems to be the only one that can be implemented.

At the end of the day, the result was obvious. I couldn't find any farts, and my head was a little dizzy from exhaustion. I looked at the time on the watch, and it was 05:30.

"At this point in time, Lin Yiluo will be back soon, right? It seems that I have to go back too. I'm afraid it will make her unhappy..."

Talking to himself, Lin Ran walked to the nearest bus stop nearby. There were only two or three elderly people bustling on the bus stop. Lin Ran didn't pay attention. After waiting for a while, the No. [-] bus arrived. Lin Ran threw two coins into the coin box, and then turned his attention to the seat.

Today is the [-]th, the seats in the car are different, but it was much empty in the past, Lin Ran randomly found a seat on the side, sat down, and was going to pass the time in the car in a daze.

The car moved slowly, and the scene outside the window was slowly and quickly left behind. It seemed that after a period of time, Lin Ran's calm heart suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something inexplicable. Lin Ran inexplicably raised his head to look at the situation in the car.

"Why do you suddenly feel something is wrong in your heart?"

Lin Ran muttered softly, and suddenly, while his eyes were wandering around, he stopped on a figure on the bus seat in front left.

Her petite body was leaning against the seat, her long black hair was loosely scattered, and the girl leaned gently against the window, seemingly motionless.

"Why does this figure feel inexplicably familiar?"

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the girl's frontal appearance reflected in the mirror. As one of the strongest magical girls ever, Lin Ran, even in the state of not transforming, all parts of the body and organs will be strengthened to a certain extent.

At this time, ordinary people can't see clearly, and they will feel that the blurred glass reflection has become extremely clear in his eyes. After narrowing his eyes and looking carefully for a while, Lin Ran was finally able to confirm that the person sitting on the seat was the one who had never seen that day. The girl who ran out of Jiang Lanxin's office.

In order to confirm this matter, Lin Ran deliberately contacted Jiang Lanxin's contact software on his mobile phone, but the other party quickly replied to him, and even sent the photo of the personal information report he read that day to the mobile phone.

Looking at the photo on the phone, and comparing it to the reflection on the glass, there was a slight mistake at this moment, and it might be gone.

Lin Ran was not surprised to meet this girl suddenly on the No. [-] bus. After all, Jinling City said that it was normal to meet such a half-baked person on the bus, but what made Lin Ran feel very strange was that the girl's state seemed a little strange to him...

Although he couldn't tell what was strange or wrong, Lin Ran subconsciously felt that the girl sitting there was definitely not in a normal state.

Suddenly, just as Lin Ran was thinking, the old lady in red who was sitting beside her suddenly spoke.

"Hey, young man, I see you looked at the girl by the front window for a long time, did you also find something? Do you feel something is wrong?"

Facing the sudden question from the side, Lin Ran felt that he was taken aback, but fortunately, his psychological quality was good, and he recovered quickly.

"Young man, don't think auntie is strange. Auntie asked because you seemed to feel a little strange about the girl in front of you."

It seems that she is afraid of being misunderstood by others, the aunt explained with a smile.

"It's okay, ah, by the way, this aunt, you said that there is something wrong with the girl in front, I just think she is sitting there alone, as if she is in a bad state of mind, did you find anything wrong?"

"Oh, young man, I think you are also a careful person. My aunt will tell you. Not only does this girl seem to be in a mental state, but she also behaves very strangely!"

"What kind of weird method?"

Hearing this, Lin Ran immediately turned around and became interested.

"The girl sat on this bus for a whole day. The whole day, the bus ran around the city for countless times. She just sat there without moving. The old driver asked him if he wanted to get off the bus? The girl also said that she wanted to sit a little longer, and she has been sitting there until now."

What the old lady in red said was very mysterious, and Lin Ran couldn't stop nodding when she heard it, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and his eyes instantly became extremely sharp as he asked back.

"No, this girl has been sitting here for a day, how do you know? Did you also sit in this car for a day like this girl?"

It seemed that the other party had guessed the truth, the aunt in red looked very surprised, and nodded with a smile at the same time.

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

Lin Ran suddenly felt that sitting in this car felt a little cold, and an urge to get out of the car immediately came into his heart. Why did this world suddenly feel so ridiculous?

Two people sat in this car for a whole day, how could there be such a strange person?Don't you make a normal bus?Is it a ghost car from a horror story?

Chapter 33 Lonely Birthday

"Aunt, don't scare me, you, you..."

Speaking of this, Lin Ran's originally calm voice became trembling at this moment, and he leaned his body to the edge of the car with some fear, trying to find some more sense of security.

The aunt saw that the young man next to her had even misunderstood what she said, so she immediately waved her hand and explained with a smile.

"Oh, boy, don't be afraid, there is a reason for me to sit here all day..."

"I am from Jinling. Now, my son is developing well in Tiandu City and has a future, so I want to take me to live with him. My wife died early, and it's lonely to stay here alone. I want to reunite with my son as soon as possible.”

"It's just that I'm getting old. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to come back after this trip. I'm still very reluctant to leave this place that raised me for many years, so I just thought about sitting around and buying vegetables every day. Take the No. [-] bus and take a look around the city, and take it as my last farewell to the city..."

The old aunt's voice is very emotional, and her whirling eyes are looking deeply at everything outside the car window. Nostalgia and reluctance may be the emotions that everyone who leaves their hometown will experience.

Lin Ran sighed softly, then nodded in understanding.

"Ding dong, we've arrived at Pingling Square. Passengers who need to get off, please get off. Thank you."
